Strange FPS glitch question
Strange FPS glitch question
In Apex I get low fps when I plug my cable into the outlet, but after unplugging everything then plugging it back in, things go back to normal. But the next day, i have to do that again and again. Does anyone know how to fix this so i don't have to keep messing with it? In games like Rust it doesn't matter much, but most other games make a huge difference to my fps.
It might be that wall socket where you plug your computer in (if that is what you meant) has bad rust or too many things plugged into it at once. Try another socket to check if something breaks like that. You might need a pro to install a new one, or even do it yourself if you know how and own the house. If it's an apartment and the outlet is bad, tell your landlord about it. They will happily fix it because these can start fires too. I once plugged my friend's floor lamp into an outlet and then the bulb exploded right away. I told him to call the landlord immediately and they found the socket was broken and replaced it. These things are dangerous and you don't want to risk them. If your PC powers off with a clicking sound, that is usually just its safety feature turning it off when it gets too hot or overloaded.
It seems like you have a computer that runs on power. Just follow what I told you before, too: look at your battery options and figure out if the settings changed when you plugged it in or used it up to no charge left. If something weird happened to those choices, change them back to how they were set originally so everything works smoothly again.
Sure, I have a regular PC that needs electricity through a wire. Did you know I mean a power strip instead of just one long wire? Maybe it is this power strip that's causing trouble?
Never use a long extension cord for your power supply. Instead, use a big surge protection strip at most, but don't make it longer than six feet. Also pick a thick cord with a three-prong plug. Remember, too many electronics can overload the outlets. If you have a TV and an AVR, put them on different circuits instead of sharing one outlet.
